Collaborative behavioral care, aka integrated care, portends a fundamental change in the way behavioral healthcare is delivered in the US. Because of user interest, CarePaths is working on other products and features to support this area of practice.
This bibliography, put together by Eric Berko, Ph.D. who is a specialist in collaborative care and a CarePaths user, includes two comprehensive websites that have multiple links to resources ranging from basic definitions to the skills needed for successful practice to measurement and implementation. There is also position paper from the Millbank Foundation and four book references that can help with implementation.
